Kyle Curtin is Newish to Ultramarathoning, but He’s Killing it!

Kyle Curtin is flying under the radar in the ultra marathon scene, but if he keeps winning races he won’t be able to lurk in the shadows much longer.

Kyle Curtin

He made his debut in the ultra world running the Ozark 100, and did just about everything wrong. But he finished it, and the next year came back for more. And the rest, as they say, is history. We go in depth about a couple of his races, talk about his future as he prepared to leave the Army, and figure out when he is going to run his next ultra. Here are some of the highlights:

• His first ultra was a 100-miler, and he had no idea what to expect!
• The thrill of winning a 100-mile race.
• Getting ready to spend a chunk of the summer hiking the Appalachian Trail with his dad.
• Taking a break from 100-milers after his most recent race.
• How difficult the Hurt 100 is, both mentally and physically.
• His strategies to avoid going out too fast.
• Racing ultras is not as physically challenging as the mental aspect.
